Ahing taanglou thenglakle
Paojelli athengbase seihekna
Koujeng haarougi mengla khonjelgi
Hayeng kouba mahaak ngaairi waana
Cheinaa ngaakcha ahingsimagi
Nungshi mityeng hayeng koubagi
Phanglidara eibu???
Maanari meeoibagi sor gee khongchat
Khonthoksu chunei mihool gee
Tongaanba shakphamna koisilli
Mitkapti thokladri adubu khangjare edom
Leiribase miramni…
Taakhidri amuktasu Rail-gaari gee khonjel,
Oire adubu ngasidi naoshum eshei eigee
Tumkhul taallanaba ahingse
Ayetpadi piredo maning tamla ahinggi cheklaasingna
Kourakle tattana eihaakpu koujeng harousingna
Ningthiba soor gee waahanthok puba sheihekta
Haairiboiredo waari lige- taaro laak o,
Edrabadi nakhoina eikhoigi waari
Khangbigani eikhoibudi kanana?
Waakatpasu yaore mahousagi khudolse
Nanglaroi maatagum thomjillare
Shakpham khennaba,
Thawaai-paanba kayaana.
Paodamliboire; eihaakpudi karimata ngaanglanu,
Eesinlo makhoi khudingmakki waari
Amukta ukhidriba shaktamna
Akiba, hanggoiba amatasu yaodana
Utlarido matou; chaanaba marup amagum
Nungshide haaibadi ngamloi echinna,
Eenthokpasu paanggal oiroi khangngi
Lijaba waarising nakhoigi
Laakchabani eidi; eesinjage khanna
Chiklaba leikolsida miramgi,
Ahingsu kouba mayaadraba taankak
Nong-ngaalle haaigesu numitti udari
Thawaai paanba, mee di nattaba!
Oirambasu yaai mamaanggi mapoktadi
Nakhoina eihaakkum a-eba,
Eihaakna nakhoigum waari leeba thawaai-paanba.
Taaoba: Phattribasi meeoibani minungshi khangdeda maadi, chaak chaai haaibatani.
Koujeng-haarou: Yumjao manunggi esheidi eikhoi nongmata shaklude aduga lamhaang achikpada
punglon gee matung enna Jagoi sabagum, matam chaana seishakpani, masidi ethoune eikhoigi.
Taangja: Tamthiba mityeng mipaaijei, thaapna paodamjage, shakpham lotli waaroubinu,
mipaaijaba henmanbanani-ashongbadi eigi mapham oijage, minungshi yaodaba taahanba leppiro!
Meeoi khonjel pokcheida mipaaiba. Achang thongbu haangge khanda, ashi thong thawoinamak
haangjabadi natchadeko. Soibani! Paakhatpadagi; mityeng, khonjel, waangang, ensinkhibani
mitkuptuna thouna ama ephamda.
Kwaak- Paakhatpikhinu!!! Kwaak eikhoina ashi paojelli khanna mipaaibikhinu. Mahousa gi leikolda

Yong-moo - Nakhoi mayamna libada waari ayaambasing loina surey. Panghaaida haaijinbasu aebagi
handwriting haaibadi khut-eda apanba oirarani. A-ebasu thengle changbiro, leikolsida kuina

Nattraa se a-ebadi ngaowe haaise chummidako, ngasifaoda kana amatana taabiradraba waari

haapcharani adudeigi mayaamna khara khangbiraba yaai eikhoigi waarising. English kharasu

Hmm, yaabu umsillamdre noklingeida.
Hangdre eisu waahangdi,
Nattrabadi numittugi ahingdu khakta natta
Thabum kayasu khanghouroi houkhiba,
Marak-marakta laakke marupsingga thengnakhisi…
